    You mention a 12 volt conversion in this video. Do you use a ballast resistor on these coils when running 12 volts? If so, where do you source the resistors? Thanks.

    • @rdg2124
      @rdg2124 Před 3 měsíci

      I do not use a ballast resistor when I use the rebuilt coils as the replacement capacitor is able to use the output of a 12-volt alternator. I do not think the older capacitors within the coils not marked for "12-volts" can withstand the higher voltage. If you want to use a resistor, I have good luck with ballast resistors that are used on older Dodge/Chrysler vehicles.

      They are cables/wire that are directly connected to the rails to activate the crossing protection seen in this video. Full-size (heavy) trains utilize their non-insulated wheels and weight to perform the same task. Trackcars/motorcars/rail speeders normally have their wheels insulated. Hope that helps.

      @rdg2124 Před rokem

      Yes, there's quite a bit of pre-trip coordination involved, mostly obtaining permission to utilize the tracks and have all the paperwork in order. We try to schedule our trips when no trains are running so as not to interfere with the railroad's primary business. Plus, all the safety rules involved makes for quite a bit of work. Safety First is the #1 rule on the railroad. Thanks for watching.
